Ketones as electrophiles in two component Baylis–Hillman reaction: a facile one-pot synthesis of substituted indolizines†
Abstract
2-Alkanoyl(aroyl)-pyridines have been successfully used for coupling with alkyl vinyl ketones under the influence of TMSOTf providing a facile protocol for the synthesis of substituted indolizines, thus demonstrating the application of ketones as electrophiles in a two component Baylis–Hillman reaction.
